South African Breastmilk Reserve

Helping save newborn lives

Every baby deserves the best possible start in life.
That's why, here at the South African Breastmilk Reserve (SABR), we've made it our mission to supply donated breastmilk to the most vulnerable infants around the country.
Rich in antibodies, these precious donations play a crucial role in lowering infant mortality rates and have helped save more than 8 000 lives since our inception in 2003.
But with a premature infant dying every 20 minutes in South Africa and one of the lowest breastfeeding rates in the world, there's still a long way to go.
